Summary of Aldol Transition State Analysis: 1. Enolate geometry (E- or Z-) is an important stereochemical aspect. Z-Enolates usually give a higher degree of stereoselection than E-enolates. 2. Li+, Mg 2+, Al3+= enolates give comparable levels of diastereoselection for kinetic aldol reactions. 3. Steric influences of enolate substituents (R1 & R2) play a dominent role in kinetic diastereoselection. O- M+

Boron Enolates:
Comprehensive Organic Synthesis 1991, 2, 239. Organic Reactions 1995, 46, 1; Organic Reactions 1997, 51, 1. OPPI 1994, 26, 3. - Alkali & alkaline earth metal enolates tend to be aggregates- complicates stereoselection models. - Boron enolates are monomeric and homogeneous - B-O and B-C bonds are shorter and stronger than the corresponding Li-O abd Li-C bonds (more covalent character)- therefore tighter more organized transition state.

• In general, syn aldol products are achievable with high selectivity, anti aldols are more difficult Mukaiyama-Aldol- Silyl Enol Ethers as an enolate precursors. Lewis acid promoted condensation of silyl ketene acetals (ester enolate equiv.) with aldehydes: proceeds via "open" transition state to give anti aldols starting from either E- or Z- enolates. OSiMe3

- for the addition of a nucleophile to an Sp2 center, the nucleophile approaches perpendicular to the π-system. Nu Nu
Nomenclature 1. indicate ring size being formed 3 membered ring = 3 4 membered ring = 4 etc. 2. indicate geometry of electrophilic atom if Y= Sp3 center; then Tet (tetrahedral) if Y= Sp2 center; then Trig (trigonal) if Y= Sp center; then Dig (digonal) Z Y

Radical Cyclization B. Giese Radicals in Organic Synthesis: Formation of Carbon-Carbon Bonds (Pergamon Press; NY) 1986; Bull. Soc. Chim. Fr. 1990, 127 , 675; Tetrahedron 1981, 37 , 3073; Tetrahedron 1987, 43, 3541; Advances in Free Radical Chemistry 1990, 1, 121. Organic Reactions 1996, 48, 301-856. Radical Addition to multiple bonds: 1. Free radical addition is a two stage process involving an addition step followed by an atom transfer step. 2. In general, the preferred regioselectivity of the addition is in a manor to give the most stable radical (thermodynamic control)
FIVE-MEMBERED RING FORMATION Advantages of free radical reactions: 1. non-polar, little or no solvent effect 2. highly reactive- good for hindered or strained sysntems 3. insensitive to acidic protons in the substrates (i.e. hydroxyl groups do not necessarily need to be protected Mechanism of radical chain reactions 1. initiation 2. propagation 3. termination (bad) Formation of carbon centered radicals: tin hydride reduction of alkyl, vinyl and aryl halides, alcohol derivatives: xanthates, thionocarbonate, thiocarbonylimidazolides organosselenium & boron compounds carboxylic acid derivatives (Barton esters) reduction of organomercurials thermolysis of organolead compounds thermolysis or photolysis of azoalkanes. Radical Ring Closure For irreversible ring closure reaction, the kinetic product will predominate. Both the 5-exo-trig and 6-endo trip are favored reactions, with the 6 exo-trig mode producing the most stable radical. However, the 5-exo-trig is about 50 time faster •

- when both the diene and dienophile are "unactivated" the D-A rxn is sluggish - D-A rxns with electron rich dienes and electron defficient dienophiles work the best. Some electron deficient dienophiles are quinones, maleic ahydride, nitroalkenes, α,βunsaturated ketones, esters and nitriles. - D-A rxns with electron deficient dienes and electron rich dienophiles also work well. These are refered to as reverse demand D-A rxns. - D-A rxns are sensitive to steric effects of the dienephiles, particularly at the 1- and 2postions. Steric bulk at the 1-position may prevent approach of the dienophile while steric bulk at the 2-position may prevent the diene from adopting the s-cis conformation. - The D-A rxn is promoted by Lewis acids (TiCl4, BF3 AlCl3, AlEt2Cl, SnCl4,...) - The D-A rxn is promoted by high pressure (1 kbar ~ 14200 psi) Synthesis 1985, 1.

- The mechanism of the D-A rxn is believed to be a one-step, concerted, non-synchronous process. - concerted- bond making and bond breaking processes take place in a single kinetic step (no dip in the transition state) - synchronous- bond making and bond breaking take place at the same time and to the same extent.
